Hello guys and gals,
I am looking into an old Model A lantern that is very local, and is possible they might sell it to me. I have a couple of questions. First, what is the value of the lantern (I don't have pictures but I do have a decent memory so I will provide a description)? The lantern is in rough shape. The lens has a nice chip out of it. The reflective surface for the flame isn't that reflective. There isn't any dents in the body but the manufacturer plate is bent pretty good. It is somewhat dirty, but that is expected from a true lantern. And the second question is where could I find spare parts for this thing? I know I need the lens, but I could take it apart and see that it needs tons of work.
Thanks and I might have a few more questions, maybe.
Zack
